FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Ahead of talks between Iran and the six major world powers (P5+1), Britain’s Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt has claimed that Britain wishes “to support an Iranian drive to civil nuclear power.”

Burt’s claims were made in a video recording posted on the country’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s official website.

Furthermore, referring to the Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi’s comments that Iran’s nuclear program is in the Iranian people’s best interests, Burt said: “It’s not for the United Kingdom to say what’s in the Iranian people’s best interest. But, certainly we hope it’s clear to the Iranian government that they must also satisfy the concerns of the international community about the nuclear program.”

Burt’s comments about “the concerns of the international community” come as the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL), a Non-Governmental Organization with consultative status to UN Economic and Social Council and UNESCO, has said it “is deeply concerned about the threats against Iran by Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom.”

Moreover, David Morrison, a British political commentator, slammed the world powers’ double standard regarding nuclear weapons saying “(1) Iran, which has none, is the object of ferocious economic sanctions and threats of military action; (2) Israel, which has many (perhaps as many as 400) and the ability to deliver them to any capital in the Middle East, is the object of over $3 billion a year of military aid.”

Furthermore, while Burt said Britain’s “agenda is not hidden”, former UK Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Peter Jenkins, said Britain was after putting an end to uranium enrichment in Iran, which is its “inalienable right” according to Article IV of The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).

“Our objective was to put a stop to all enrichment in Iran. That has remained the West’s aim ever since, despite countless Iranian reminders that they are unwilling to be treated as a second-class party to the NPT – with fewer rights than other signatories – and despite all the evidence that the Iranian character is more inclined to defiance than buckling under pressure,” said Jenkins in an interview with the Daily Telegraph on 23 January 2012.
